Portugal Walk map 72

"Andar é preciso viver não é preciso" "walking is necessary , living is not."This is an adapted piece of a poem by Portuguese poet Pessoa that I found on a mural along the walk. Pessoa got it from "Navigare necesse est; vivere non est necesse," attributed to the Roman general Pompey. What it means to me is that walking and moving and keeping on must be done even at though I will die, even if I must. To me it's a romantic idea of keeping on despite no hope and that I must keep on even if it means death.
This is map piece #72 from my current walk, a 350 mile walk across Portugal. The piece is my art done on a map page used for the walk. The map goes with me on the walk and guides me and contains the walk in the dirt, rain , sweat or whatever accumulates on it from the road. I find it special for that reason. The sentence I come up with or find on the walk and graffiti it on the walk. The piece is made on the road, on the walk. My aim with my art is to give a piece of the walk through my art and I do believe that is accomplished because of the aspects of the art previously mentioned. Another part of the art is that the selling of the art is what enables me to further walk. In my mind that is part of the art, the way everything goes together. The walking feeds the thinking which creates the sentences and I do my art on the road doing what I love and the art helps me to keep going and doing what I love.
The thick red line on the Piece is the path I walked.
The map is printed on high quality 250g paper. And the art is done with alcohol based and acrylic markers.
Comes with 3 Screen printed Eggshell stickers.
